How to Install Languge in DamnSmallLinux (With Dead Keys)?---------------------------------------------------------- I have some old laptop that I want to install small linux with hebrew language keyboard , here is manual how it can be done: 1. First install xfree86.dsl , Manual is here: < http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/XF86Config-4 > 2. After xfree86 is running , when you try to run setxkbmap an error appear. Ok, Don't Panic, After I check the forum , I decide to zip the files. copy from the zip file xf86config-xkb dir to /ramdisk/usr/X11F6/lib/X11/ so you will have /ramdisk/usr/X11F6/lib/X11/xf86config-xkb. Also in /etc/X11 make dir call xserver and copy SecurityPolicy inside. So you will have /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy < http://www.uploadhut.com/upload/17931.zip > My zip file contains the exect path. 3. Edit file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 find line "XKBLayout" "us" and put also you'er keyboard like "XKBLayout" "us,il" 4. Exit from flushbox & type exit so X server will load again, now run setxkbmap, If there is no errors, go to next step. 5. After checking google , I found a great utill for easy switch keyboard, It call wmxkb , copy it to any dir U want. (I put it here /home/dsl) inside there is wmxkb-pix.zip file, extract this file with same dirs it come /usr/share/pixmaps .. and so. extract the wmxkb file it self , put it in /home/dsl (mybe you will have also to do linux#>wmxkb 777 /home/dsl/wmxkb) go to /home/dsl/.xinit before dillio line put this line: /home/dsl/wmxkb -fwdSwitch 62-8 -backSwitch 62-8 -docked & this line will load wmxkb before dallio and will let you switch with ALTGR + Left SHIFT. It work like a charm. Link to Download ZIP file: < http://www.uploadhut.com/upload/17931.zip > (Please upload it to damnsmalllinux site) thanx. It will be also great to make it .dsl pkg or put it in next release. Enjoy Gadi Dor gadido30@yahoo.com Technical Linux Advisor and Security Advisor Posted by Pupa on Feb. 07 2008,19:51
